http://tastingserendipity.blogspot.com/2010/06/chicken-pot-pie-recipe.html
A blog about the tasty surprises in life. Wednesday, June 16, 2010. Every now and then I fiddle around with a recipe and it comes out GREAT! Then, I forget to write it down and can never recreate it again. Last night could have been one of those nights. I made a chicken pot-pie that was so delicious that Vince and Chris declared it was the best they ever had. So in the efforts of helping my fragile memory remember here it is:. 2 large chicken breasts. 2 tbsp. olive oil. 1/4 cup butter (salted). Nope I do...

Tasting Serendipity: Caprese Salad
http://tastingserendipity.blogspot.com/2010/06/caprese-salad.html
A blog about the tasty surprises in life. Tuesday, June 29, 2010. This weekend we got lucky with a happy coincidence. Harris Teeter had a sale on the Perlini Mozzarella and hot house tomatoes, and Chris' basil was running wild. The result? Only the best caprese salad I've had this side of the Atlantic! OK, so maybe it wasn't the best, but it was pretty good. We ate it while we watched the U.S.A. soccer heart breaker, but at least our taste buds were happy. 2 ripe hot house tomatoes diced. And, were back!

A blog about the tasty surprises in life. Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Cuban food in the DC area? Usually for Cuban food, I have to go to my house! There isn't a dense population of Cubans in this tri-state area, so your chances for a good cafe con leche or a pan con lechon are slim to none, unless you are eating at Casa Carmen! But there may be light at the end of the tunnel. One of the blogs I follow just posted a review of. Links to this post. Wednesday, February 17, 2010. I highly reccomend seeking ...

Tasting Serendipity: July 2010
http://tastingserendipity.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
A blog about the tasty surprises in life. Thursday, July 15, 2010. We followed a version of this and used Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce because it is Vince's favorite, and we were too tired to come up with our own creative version. The verdict: Really tender ribs, so the method worked, but the BBQ sauce didn't do jack for the ribs. We ended up with a one-note flavor that got to be too much by the end. Thank goodness for bogo. We will certainly try again (with our own sauce of course! Links to this post. PS I w...

What's The Deal, Steele?: December 2012

What's The Deal, Steele? A Little Peek Into Our Life. Sunday, December 9, 2012. When In Doubt, Organize. Oh, my pantry, how I love thee. Even in your most disorganized state, you are still huge and wonderful. The pantry was working okay like this, but it was really uninspiring. I'd open up the doors and feel exhausted just looking at the stuff scattered everywhere. It needed a plan. I got my inspiration from an organizing blog called A Bowl Full of Lemons. And I bought myself some pretty storage bins fro...

A blog about the tasty surprises in life. Sunday, January 24, 2010. Jose Andres "Made in Spain". While we were flipping through the channels this Saturday night, Vin and I came across chef Jose Andres' PBS series "Made in Spain."

We finished off the day by getting a last glimpse of the Christmas decorations ...
